Preferred term

Sara Ruddick  

Definition

  • Sara Ruddick, scholar, teacher, feminist, writer, and integrative thinker, provides in her work sophisticated and nuanced ways to think about matters of central importance to humanity such as peace, mothering, love, patriarchy, and violence. Ruddick's writings reflect her own movement toward authentic selfhood as she contemplates the place of meaningful work—including mothering—in the formation of the person, the transformative power inherent in connections with others, especially women, and the imperative that everyone embrace peaceful ways of addressing the problems that wars are initiated mistakenly to solve. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Ruddick, Sara]
